Joan Iaconetti

Teaches at Watercolor for Absolute Beginners

For over 25 years, she worked as a non-fiction writer and a travel photographer. Fourteen years ago Joan took up watercolor on a lark, and soon became pleasantly obsessed with it. Unfortunately, the two classes she took (both with accomplished professional artists) never covered the basics of working with watercolor, and left me confused and frustrated. As Joan taught herself from books, she began to put together the course she wish she'd been able to take -- this course, Watercolor for Absolute Beginners. In 2012 she was honored to have her work included in the National Watercolor Society 92d Annual Exhibition in Los Angeles, in the Allied Artists of America Annual Exhibition in New York, and in the Salmagundi Art Classes Exhibit where she was awarded Best in Show.

    This is a wonderful class! The instructor, Joan Iaconetti, was right when she said I didn't have to know how to draw to learn how to use watercolor -- or have any prior art experience. She teaches you simple techniques and tricks, gives clear instruction, and is full of encouragement and praise. She loves what she does and it shows in how she teaches the class and interacts with her students. I learned so much and now I'm hooked on watercolor! I've already signed up for another class!

    Joan is a very knowledgable, talented and patient teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed her class and will definitely continue to take classes with her. Each of the exercises and paintings are explained clearly, and each class flies by.

    Joan is very encouraging and patient-- and talented. She allows you to make up for a class if you miss one. Her class was delightful and I would highly recommend it.

    This was a terrific intro to watercolor. Small group, nice environment, terrific teacher. Just the right amount of structure, information and help to get a beginner started and excited. Everyone was successful at creating lovely work right from the first class. Teacher is supportive and organized. Each lesson is followed up with an email and blog entry recapping everything taught that session. Lots of links to helpful inspiring websites and homework suggestions to continue working on the skills.
